[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 1367053, member: 93179"] [USER=236296]@Bellatom[/USER] - I have a carbaholic husband too - but he's always eaten higher carbs than me so I've been fairly used to eating to my own preference where possible which has made avoiding (his) carby foods easier for me. However, I [B]do[/B] make sure that I have low carb alternatives: Lindt 85% dark chocolate, low carb almond shortcake, sweet (and savoury) muffins, bread, creamy whips and cheesecakes, etc, that I can turn to. If I can eat these I don't need those evil carby alternatives that come with the risk of re-addiction or nasty damage to my eyes and body. When I first chose to eat LCHF I was super virtuous and swore I'd never touch sweeteners of any sort , but common sense (perhaps?) dictated that if I was to keep of this way of eating long term [B]and[/B] satisfy a fairly sweet tooth and a love of baking, I should compromise a little, so I added erythritol & stevia, nut & seed flours (ground almonds and hazelnuts, sesame flour, milled flax seed, etc) into my LCHF OK to eat list. And feel I'm in a win-win situation. Robbity PS The occasional and only times I wobble on the wagon are if my body decides my glucose levels are too low (not always correctly!) and I [I]have[/I] to have something with a little [B]real[/B] sugar, but once I've eaten that, I very rarely ever want any more.:wideyed: [/QUOTE]
